The Sigur Rós tour that recently had American writers reaching for the thesaurus is coming to New Zealand, and the first time they are touring without a support act – offering instead an extended evening of two sets separated by an intermission.
The now three-piece will be pulling many of their best-loved songs from their extensive back catalogue as well as new material written for their forthcoming eighth studio album.
Sigur Ros bring their full production to New Zealand for the tour, designed and executed by the team who have worked on the group’s stunning visual experiences and won prestigious Knights of Illumination awards in the process.
